#### 6.12.2 Including shortdesc content in the title attribute

To include shortdesc content in the title attribute of the heading it applies to, instead of as a paragraph following the heading:

    [MapOptions]
    ; UseMapDescAsTitle = No (default, treat descriptions as text if used)
    ; or Yes (use descriptions without formatting as title attributes)
    UseMapDescAsTitle = Yes

When UseMapDescAsTitle=Yes, the shortdesc text appears with a mouseover in HTML output. However, for the topic text itself, the shortdesc always appears after the title, unless you map it to one of the following:

- [BlockFormatMaps]None (see §6.4.2 Mapping block and inline element paths to formats)
- [HtmlStyles]Delete (see §30.2.6 Eliminating unwanted paragraphs)
- [WordStyles]Delete (see §15.4.4 Omitting content from RTF output).
